Native Plant Trust Garden in the Woods, Framingham, MA World Premiere - Mushroom Modulations
Native Plant Trust proudly presents its first visiting artist, Christine Southworth. Christine is a Lexington, MA-based multimedia composer whose work primarily involves nature— lightning, honeybees, coral reefs, spiders, snowflakes, and, currently, mushrooms. Her new work incorporates photographs and videos of mushrooms growing at Garden in the Woods and around Middlesex County from summer 2021 through the present, and she is using these to create an immersive performance environment. The electrical currents given off by mycelium networks are thought to be used as communication between different fungal fruiting bodies. Surrounded by her images of mushroom colonies growing and fading throughout the seasons, she will make music with live mushrooms that she has grown by “listening to” slight electrical variations in the colonies via electrodes placed on different parts of the fruiting growth and converted to sound. This project was funded by a generous grant from MAP Fund.

Celebrated for his exuberant virtuosity and a bold repertoire that embraces piano classics and inspired discoveries of contemporary and world music, Joel Fan reinvents the piano recital by illuminating the rare and unexpected—creating, in the words of the Baltimore Sun’s critic Tim Smith, “one of the most satisfying piano performances I’ve heard.”

Fan will perform a bold selection of works by MIT composers as part of MIT Sounding, and will collaborate with composition students as they develop their own new works in April 2019.

by Christine Southworth, Isabel Su, Evan Ziporyn, and Ian Hattwick - We play in the canvas of the spider, using sonification of 3D models and 2D images in the harmonic language of Just Intonation. Rather than playing with the spider herself, we are using her webs as the basis of our music, reading her scores, using her geometries as the foundation for our vibrations, she provides us a soundscape through which we can wander. Spider's Canvas is presented as part of Tomás Saraceno's Carte Blanche exhibit at the Palais de Tokyo.

TERRY RILEY's 80TH BIRTHDAY CONCERT

Marathon concert with performances by Eviyan, Gamelan Galak Tika, Sarah Cahill, Terry himself and the world premiere of all-live Poppy Nogood and the Phantom Band!
Sarah Cahill performs Christine Southworth's Sparkita and her Kittens, for Sarah Cahill in honor of Terry. Tickets $20 / $10 students / Free to MIT available here.
Headlining MIT Sounding, legendary composer Terry Riley makes his second appearance at MIT for on April 18, 2015 with a marathon concert celebrating his 80th birthday. This 4-hour concert will include the premiere of a reimagined classic, a multi-saxophone live version of Riley’s 1969 Poppy Nogood and the Phantom Band, newly arranged by Evan Ziporyn. Riley himself will perform solo works and in collaboration with Gamelan Galak Tika and Eviyan, and pianist Sarah Cahill will perform new works composed in homage to Riley, including world premieres by Gyan Riley and Christine Southworth.
Terry Riley launched musical minimalism with his revolutionary classic IN C in 1964, a work whose influence continues to be felt in every corner of the musical world today, from classical concert halls to electronica clubs. Riley has since continued to compose and improvise hypnotic, multi-layered, polymetric, brightly orchestrated Eastern-flavored works which defy categorization. From his early 60s tape loop and trance music experiments and collaborations with La Monte Young, to his study of Hindustani musical traditions and eclectic compositions for the Kronos Quartet and other leading ensembles, Riley is a true musical innovator.

Orang Besi world premiere
World Premiere of Christine Southworth's Orang Besi for Gamelan Selonding (performed by Gamelan Semara Ratih from Ubud, Bali) and electronics. Gamelan Bali: stunning gamelan music & dance The group Semara Ratih, led by the award-winning Baris dancer Agung Anom, is made up of musicians who, unlike other gamelan groups, were chosen for their musical abilities from various neighbourhoods. The group performs a broad and varied programme and has completely mastered the traditional repertoire. However, because of their choice of the revitalized semarandana gamelan, they also specialised in new repertoire (kreasi) that they perform with great flair and virtuosity. A semarandana gamelan combines two gamelans with different musical scales: pelog and slendro (both 5 tones), resulting in a 7-tone scale, which means that performers can play music that creates the appropriate atmosphere for each scene (mode). The intermezzo this evening consists of a Sundanese programme of traditional kecapi suling and tembang Sunda (West-Javanese chamber music). International Gamelan Festival with leading ensembles from Sunda - Java and Bali. From Sunda Gugum Gumbira and his Jugala ensemble, Euis Komariah, Nano S. and Iwan Gunawan with his gamelan Kyai Fatahillah. From Ubud, Bali the well respected Semara Ratih with the Semaradhana gamelan directed by Anak Agung Anom. They perform both traditional and modern repertoire. The modern repertoire is dedicated to Steve Reich and will be under supervision of Evan Ziporyn (member of the Steve Reich Ensemble and Bang-on-a-Can). Tickets € 27.50 PROGRAM NOTE: Years ago in Tenganan, my friend Ketut showed me her freshly woven gringsing, the unique traditional cloth of the Bali Aga. They looked different than her older weavings - the colors were brighter, the pattern tighter, and when I asked her why she said that a mouse had eaten holes into her old cloth so she reused the thread, mixed with a new thread that she had just spun. Orang Besi ("Iron Men") is a concoction exploring the oldest, most authentic and most sacred form of Balinese gamelan, the selonding, blended with the newest and in a sense most artificial form, the electronic gamelan. Weaving elements of modernity into the fabric of the ancient Bali Aga melodies and forms, I hope to present a bright new take on a tradition that I hold in the utmost respect, preserving the essence of one of the most perfect musics in the world, embellished with a neoteric yarn.

Concerning the Doodle World Premiere

NEW SOUNDS LIVE: BANG ON A CAN ALL-STARS 2010 PEOPLE’S COMMISSIONING FUND CONCERT


World premiere of Southworth's new piece Concerning the Doodle for the Bang on a Can All-Stars, commissioned by Bang on a Can People's Commissioning Fund, with accompanying film by Amy Lovera, Christina Spangler, and Jessica Gidal. Join us for the adventures of Joe Pickle and Eyelash Girl Doodle, two kooky canines with a taste for drama. Their journey begins in the park, where they meet and discover a shared interest in tennis balls, frisbees, and squirrels. Delighted in their romping, they acquire magic powers from a duck, propelling them above a tennis court into a waking dream. Being part poodle, Eyelash Girl Doodle dreams in French. Her deepest concerns - salami, cheese, tennis balls, bones, and Joe Pickle - become animated as she floats through the subconscious of her dog brain.

Music & Lyrics by Christine Southworth
Animated Film by Clever Girls Collaborative: Christina Spangler, Amy Lovera & Jessica Gidal. Animation and assistance also by Julia Gandrud, Evelyn Tang & Lincoln Bostian Bang on a Can All-Stars
